See Spring is a mountain biking route in the Payson Ranger District of Tonto National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. It sits about half a mile from the See Spring Trail #185, which makes it easy to pair with a hike. The route is short and gentle. It covers about half a mile, rising from roughly 6,350 feet to about 6,650 feet, with a total gain of 290 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.39 miles in, where the grade reaches 17 percent. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 76°F, with lows in the mid-40s. That station sits a few hundred feet higher than the route, so temperatures here run slightly warmer. See Canyon Trail #184 is about half a mile away, and FR 84 and Fr 9350 Campground are both within about 2 miles. Woods Canyon Lake Recreation Area, about 4 miles off, offers lake fishing.
